1989 Ford Escape
1.9L 4 cyl, paid $40
This car runs pretty good. I put some oversize snowtires on it and created my own set of exhaust stacks for it

I did ok in the race and finished somewhere in the middle of 12 cars.

Since the car was still in pretty good shape, I decided to run it in a fwd
enduro race, which I'd never run or even seen. It turned out to have a bunch
of whoop-de-doo's, 2 big jumps and a figure 8 turn at the end of the track.
It was a blast to drive in. The car was not running the greatest and did not win.
I found the a loose plug wire and a bunch of oil in the distributor cap and got
running good again. I ran it in the 1st consi and did not win again.
I turned right around and ran in the 2nd consi. About half way through the race
all the other cars died and I was the only one running. I had to run about
8 laps all by myself. In the feature, I was doing ok, until the car died and
battery was too weak to turn it over. The way I look at it is.. I got to run
4 times for 1 entree fee, had a great time and got a trophy/$100 to boot.
I sold this car to one of my friends.
